COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONWe toned down the hops a bit to allow cocoa nibs to contribute some pleasing bitterness, while vanilla notes from the oak combine with the cocoa to create an aroma and flavor akin to a gourmet chocolate bar. A dash of cayenne keeps things lively, adding just a bit of heat to the finish. A Yeti for summer? Hell yes.

Rating from 2010 bottle, drank in jan 2012.
Aroma is pretty much mostly aloooot of dark chocolate.
Apperance.: pitch black, with a medium head.
Taste: When its cold, it’s a bit fizzy and a little chocolate. With temperature you feel the oak-aging, and a great cayenne aftertaste gets obvious.
Overall, it doesn’t get much better than this. Its a great beer hands down.
Although the 2012 bottle was levels below then 2010, so i don’t know if there is alot of quality differences between the years?

Bomber to snifter. Pitch black with a thin dark brown head that fades to a nice ring around the glass. Nose is all chocolate. Thick feel, smooth, expected more choc in the flavor, but the bitterness and the oak played well together. Solid.
